Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v4 3/8] bpf: Update descriptions for helpers bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]()
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:26:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220831152657.2078805-1-yhs@fb.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220831152641.2077476-1-yhs@fb.com>
Now instead of the number of arguments, the number of registers
holding argument values are stored in trampoline. Update
the description of bpf_get_func_arg[_cnt]() helpers. Previous
programs without struct arguments should continue to work
as usual.
